Zooey Deschanel is pregnant with her first child

Zooey Deschanel is expecting her first child with her producer boyfriend, Jacob Pechenik.

"Jacob and I are over the moon. We are so excited to meet our little one," Deschanel told PEOPLE.

The 34-year-old actress and her main squeeze, 42, began dating in 2014.

While Zooey will be a first-time mom, we imagine she'll be able to pick up a couple tips from her sister, "Bones" star Emily Deschanel. Emily is expecting her second bundle of joy with her husband, David Hornsby, this year.
